Welcome to the Military Transition Podcast, Human Resources Pathfinder Series, where we share invaluable Human Resources career insights and HR tips and tools tailored specifically for the veteran community. I'm your host, Misty Moreno. I served in the Air Force for 20 years and retired in 2020. I'm the Marketing Manager and Content Creator for Vets2PM, and I mentor veterans just like you through the military transition. In today's episode, we have the privilege of hosting Alexandra Kaprielian, a dynamic HR professional who currently works as the Manager of People Engagement and Onboarding at SYPartners in Manhattan, NY. Alexandra's journey to the consulting world has been anything but conventional. Growing up in San Mateo, CA, Alexandra dreamed of being a singer. After performing in over 30 shows in the Bay Area, recording a solo jazz album, traveling on a National Broadway tour, and working as a Casting Assistant for TV and film in LA, she spent over 15 years in the service industry. Pursuing her Broadway dreams, she moved to New York, but soon found that working long hours in restaurants wasn't fulfilling enough. With a friend's help, she transitioned to Talent Recruiting at SYPartners, seeking a better quality of life. Over almost six years at SYPartners, Alexandra transitioned from Talent Acquisitions to People Operations, and now to her current role in Onboarding within Learning & Development. Her creative skills and experience in talent acquisition and the hospitality industry made her a natural fit for an HR Generalist role. When Alexandra isn't in front of her computer, you can find her singing at jazz venues in New York, doing voiceovers for commercials and books, or enjoying a morning cup of coffee or a glass of champagne to end the day. Join us as we explore Alexandra's unique journey, her experiences and insights in HR, and how she leverages her diverse background to enhance People Engagement and Onboarding at SYPartners.

With a focus on collaboration rather than competition, Datapac aims to create a more inclusive environment within the indigenous IT industry in Ireland. This new initiative builds on Datapac's successful work and graduate placement programmes, which have taken on over 220 candidates in the last 18 years. Pathways Inclusion will seek to reach, empower, and support individuals throughout all the stages of their education.

Datapac recognises the importance of early education in shaping perceptions and aspirations and will collaborate with key organisations to promote a more inclusive narrative about to children from a young age, helping to broaden their horizons for what's possible during their life trajectory. Secondary school: Mentorship and exposure to lived examples during the formative secondary school years can have a significant impact on career choices.

To help address this inequality and evolve the narrative, Datapac is launching the Pathways Inclusion initiative as a movement towards greater industry-wide inclusivity."

00:01:55:17 - 00:01:56:17 Sure. 00:01:56:20 - 00:02:00:00 So if we're thinking about engagement, 00:02:00:19 - 00:02:03:06 engagement in the definition that we use, 00:02:03:06 - 00:02:06:12 at MRA is really investment. 00:02:06:20 - 00:02:10:02 How invested is an individual 00:02:10:09 - 00:02:13:14 in the organization they are in and in the job that they're doing, 00:02:13:17 - 00:02:17:11 whereas satisfaction really is 00:02:17:19 - 00:02:20:00 how content are they. 00:02:20:19 - 00:02:23:16 So I like to use the analogy for those two 00:02:24:12 - 00:02:27:20 to be almost like being in this room with you right now. 00:02:27:20 - 00:02:30:23 So this is a very comfortable room. 00:02:31:03 - 00:02:32:19 It's nice and warm. 00:02:32:19 - 00:02:34:22 You're nice and warm. 00:02:34:22 - 00:02:36:15 You know, it's easy to be here. 00:02:36:15 - 00:02:39:16 So I can say, Oh, you know, I'm content, 00:02:40:06 - 00:02:44:04 but if you were not asking me questions 00:02:44:04 - 00:02:48:05 in the moment, I could be satisfied content, 00:02:49:11 - 00:02:52:08 but maybe thinking about something entirely different. 00:02:52:13 - 00:02:53:06 What am I having for dinner? 00:02:53:06 - 00:02:57:20 so I may not be invested in the discussion or I may not be present 00:02:57:23 - 00:02:58:18 in the discussion. 00:02:58:18 - 00:03:03:17 So in order to be both satisfied and engaged, 00:03:03:17 - 00:03:07:23 a person has to say for satisfaction, Is this really a place for me? 00:03:07:23 - 00:03:13:12 And then for engagement do I want to contribute to I want to be a part of. 00:03:13:19 - 00:03:18:05 So they really they work together, but they are separate things. 00:03:18:17 - 00:03:21:11 So how do they look on the other side now? 00:03:21:19 - 00:03:23:03 How do they tie together? 00:03:23:03 - 00:03:28:04 And should you be using these terms interchangeably? 00:03:28:04 - 00:03:30:19 You should not be using the terms interchangeably. 00:03:31:04 - 00:03:32:16 That's the easy part. 00:03:32:16 - 00:03:38:16 How they tie together is almost as complicated as we are as humans. 00:03:38:19 - 00:03:41:00 There's a lot of variables. 00:03:41:00 - 00:03:44:16 And so in in business, 00:03:44:16 - 00:03:49:08 we often talk about how important retaining talent is. 00:03:50:00 - 00:03:52:22 We want our folks to stay with us as long as possible. 00:03:52:22 - 00:03:55:23 So we we talk about that as retention 00:03:56:09 - 00:04:01:01 and then when we start to talk about how to measure retention, a lot of times 00:04:01:12 - 00:04:07:04 leaders or HR folks will say, oh, you know, i want to measure engagement. 00:04:07:04 - 00:04:09:23 And when we start talking about, well, why do you want to measure that? 00:04:09:23 - 00:04:12:15 A lot of times we're really talking about satisfaction. 00:04:13:00 - 00:04:15:02 So when we think about 00:04:16:22 - 00:04:17:13 what we're 00:04:17:13 - 00:04:20:14 looking to do, retention is the end goal. 00:04:21:15 - 00:04:25:00 Engagement is a part of that end goal. 00:04:25:07 - 00:04:29:11 But engagement on its own won't necessarily ensure retention. 00:04:29:11 - 00:04:33:00 Satisfaction on its own won't necessarily ensure retention, 00:04:34:10 - 00:04:37:04 engagement, satisfaction in culture. 00:04:37:12 - 00:04:40:17 What other employment alternatives are out there right now? 00:04:41:00 - 00:04:43:01 All of those factors 00:04:43:17 - 00:04:48:07 contribute to how long a person stays in the organization, not to mention 00:04:48:18 - 00:04:52:18 the non-work-related components of our lives. 00:04:54:00 - 00:04:55:03 Are we? 00:04:55:03 - 00:04:56:21 Do we need to leave an organization 00:04:56:21 - 00:05:01:04 because we have a change in our family, our spouse moving? 00:05:01:04 - 00:05:04:12 So there's all the non-work-related factors that go in as well. 00:05:04:20 - 00:05:07:01 So the when we think about 00:05:07:12 - 00:05:10:13 using terms interchangeably, no, I would 00:05:10:15 - 00:05:15:01 I want folks to really be clear about when they're looking 00:05:15:01 - 00:05:18:21 to measure engagement or they want to change employee engagement. 00:05:18:21 - 00:05:22:14 They're really looking at how to increase 00:05:23:13 - 00:05:27:10 a sense of accountability and investment when they're looking to 00:05:28:12 - 00:05:30:04 influence satisfaction. 00:05:30:04 - 00:05:35:06 I want them to think about the experience, the employee experience, 00:05:35:06 - 00:05:37:06 and then when they're thinking about retention, 00:05:37:06 - 00:05:40:11 I want them to be thinking about, okay, the length of time 00:05:40:19 - 00:05:44:16 people are in their organization or in the role in an organization 00:05:45:00 - 00:05:49:07 you just mentioned about measuring employee engagement, And it's important 00:05:49:07 - 00:05:52:22 for companies to really measure their success with employee engagement. 00:05:53:07 - 00:05:56:00 So I guess that poses the question of 00:05:56:00 - 00:05:58:14 can you actually measure engagement? 00:05:59:05 - 00:06:01:11 The easy short answer is yes. 00:06:01:11 - 00:06:04:17 The reality is it's hard to do 00:06:05:11 - 00:06:07:18 because with any 00:06:09:23 - 00:06:12:03 any human component that you're trying to measure, 00:06:12:03 - 00:06:15:07 whether it's satisfaction, engagement 00:06:15:07 - 00:06:20:05 and sense of culture in an organization, there are a lot of variables at play. 00:06:20:05 - 00:06:22:23 So they they interact with each other, as I've already talked about. 00:06:23:18 - 00:06:26:19 So the the best approach to 00:06:26:19 - 00:06:30:16 measure engagement is to be knowledgeable about what 00:06:30:16 - 00:06:32:20 your definition of engagement is going to be. 00:06:32:20 - 00:06:37:14 So at MRA, we say that we're we're measuring engagement. 00:06:37:20 - 00:06:41:05 We are looking to see how 00:06:41:14 - 00:06:45:06 well the organization has identified their mission 00:06:45:22 - 00:06:49:04 and how well they describe 00:06:49:04 - 00:06:52:10 how employees jobs are tied to that mission. 00:06:53:06 - 00:06:59:02 Then we're measuring the employees interest in the mission, 00:06:59:07 - 00:07:03:22 the future of the organization and their perception of 00:07:04:05 - 00:07:07:19 and and their willingness to contribute to the outcome of that. 00:07:07:19 - 00:07:12:05 So we really define specifically what we're trying to measure. 00:07:12:05 - 00:07:14:19 And then we design questions to align to that. 00:07:15:09 - 00:07:19:09 And a lot of times, organization will say, I want to measure engagement 00:07:19:09 - 00:07:23:16 and they may select a vendor to help them do that 00:07:24:09 - 00:07:26:20 and their definitions don't align, 00:07:26:20 - 00:07:31:07 or they might do their own survey and just ask questions 00:07:31:07 - 00:07:34:12 that may or may not get at that construct of engagement. 00:07:34:12 - 00:07:37:04 So it's hard to do, admittedly. 00:07:37:04 - 00:07:39:07 But yes, you certainly can measure. 00:07:39:13 - 00:07:42:12 And then kind of going off about what is your experience 00:07:42:12 - 00:07:47:22 with using data metrics to really measure engagement? 00:07:48:20 - 00:07:51:17 Well, you know, I do it all the time. 00:07:52:15 - 00:07:56:14 So for the past nine years, I've been administering 00:07:56:14 - 00:07:59:16 employee engagement surveys to members of MRA. 00:08:00:20 - 00:08:03:00 And one of the 00:08:03:00 - 00:08:06:02 things that I find interesting 00:08:06:02 - 00:08:10:09 is that no matter that you organization, no matter the industry, 00:08:10:18 - 00:08:14:00 no matter the size of the company, there are 00:08:14:03 - 00:08:17:16 themes that continue to surface 00:08:18:05 - 00:08:22:06 when it comes to employee engagement, and that is that in order for 00:08:23:07 - 00:08:25:13 people to really feel a sense of engagement, 00:08:26:15 - 00:08:29:16 they do need to know that mission. 00:08:29:16 - 00:08:32:06 They need to know how their job aligns. 00:08:32:06 - 00:08:36:00 They need to feel a part of the organization. 00:08:36:00 - 00:08:37:18 They need to feel like they are in the know. 00:08:37:18 - 00:08:41:23 So communication becomes a critical piece for them 00:08:43:02 - 00:08:47:22 and then a sense of growth in the organization that they can grow 00:08:47:22 - 00:08:51:15 their skillset, not necessarily moving up in the organization, 00:08:52:01 - 00:08:58:00 but feeling like that they are learning as they are giving to the organization. 00:08:58:00 - 00:09:02:08 And you can certainly you can measure all of that 00:09:02:08 - 00:09:06:00 through surveys and surveys are important to do. 00:09:06:00 - 00:09:09:00 But the other component of measuring engagement 00:09:09:12 - 00:09:13:00 is the qualitative side, 00:09:13:08 - 00:09:17:18 meaning engagement is visual, you can observe it. 00:09:18:04 - 00:09:21:14 So organizations that are interested 00:09:21:14 - 00:09:24:19 in engagement, I encourage them to collect 00:09:25:00 - 00:09:27:07 the metrics, to run the surveys, 00:09:27:21 - 00:09:31:16 but also to begin to know what it looks like. 00:09:31:16 - 00:09:34:11 And sounds like that too, is measurement. 00:09:34:19 - 00:09:39:06 And in a lot of ways it is a more valuable measure of engagement. 00:09:39:06 - 00:09:40:21 Yeah, I really like that. 00:09:40:21 - 00:09:46:01 That kind of brings us to our next point that engagement is not all one sided too. 00:09:46:09 - 00:09:50:18 It's not all on the employer manager to keep employees engaged, 00:09:50:18 - 00:09:55:11 and it's also not all on the employees to make sure that they stay engaged. 00:09:55:11 - 00:09:58:03 You So can you talk about that for a little bit, 00:09:58:12 - 00:10:00:04 oh, I could talk about that for a long time. 00:10:00:04 - 00:10:05:15 Sophie because I think that is one of the most intriguing components of engagement. 00:10:05:15 - 00:10:08:08 It really is a two way street. 00:10:09:05 - 00:10:11:10 It is. It's an equation. 00:10:11:10 - 00:10:15:18 So there are things that the organization must do 00:10:16:11 - 00:10:19:15 in order to ensure that employees can engage. 00:10:20:00 - 00:10:23:11 So they do need as I know I'm repeating myself here, 00:10:23:11 - 00:10:26:21 but they do need to say, Hey, this is who we are as an organization. 00:10:26:21 - 00:10:28:15 This is our purpose. 00:10:28:15 - 00:10:30:23 And that needs to be a prevalent message 00:10:31:14 - 00:10:34:13 for each position in the organization. 00:10:34:13 - 00:10:39:22 It needs to be clear how that position contributes to the purpose. 00:10:40:14 - 00:10:44:18 So the employer is responsible for those two things. 00:10:45:05 - 00:10:49:12 Well, if if I am coming to work for your organization, Sophie, 00:10:49:12 - 00:10:51:00 and you're that you're my, 00:10:51:00 - 00:10:53:07 you're going to be my leader and you explain those things to me. 00:10:53:07 - 00:10:54:07 Really well. 00:10:54:07 - 00:10:57:14 You've done the first two pieces for my engagement, 00:10:57:21 - 00:11:00:00 but the second two are mine. 00:11:00:10 - 00:11:05:16 So I have to then say, Oh, yes, I like what this organization is about. 00:11:06:01 - 00:11:11:18 I like with the role is about I want to stay here while I want to contribute. 00:11:12:07 - 00:11:14:08 So I have to make that choice. 00:11:14:08 - 00:11:17:13 And then the second piece for me as the employee is 00:11:17:13 - 00:11:21:12 I now have to apply my knowledge, skills and abilities. 00:11:21:18 - 00:11:23:04 So I have to apply myself. 00:11:23:04 - 00:11:25:07 I have to really get involved. 00:11:25:07 - 00:11:27:22 So that is the employee's 00:11:27:22 - 00:11:30:14 responsibility for engagement. 00:11:30:14 - 00:11:35:08 Then if I say yes, I want to be a part of this organization, 00:11:35:08 - 00:11:40:04 I want to contribute, then it's back to you as my leader 00:11:40:17 - 00:11:45:16 to ensure that I have what I need to do my job too. 00:11:45:16 - 00:11:47:22 I have the tools and equipment. 00:11:47:22 - 00:11:53:01 As the job changes, do I have the opportunity to gain new skills? 00:11:53:01 - 00:11:55:18 So you've got to help me to continue to grow. 00:11:56:06 - 00:11:59:16 And then also I have to feel visible in the organization. 00:11:59:23 - 00:12:03:06 Now we talk about employee recognition a lot, 00:12:04:09 - 00:12:05:18 but we often think about employee 00:12:05:18 - 00:12:09:05 recognition as tokens or money. 00:12:09:15 - 00:12:14:15 But when it comes to engagement, the recognition is primarily 00:12:14:23 - 00:12:17:05 between the employee and their leader. 00:12:17:10 - 00:12:22:06 So do you see me if I'm having to put in a lot of effort 00:12:22:20 - 00:12:25:01 to complete a project 00:12:26:13 - 00:12:28:01 and I'm working a lot of hours, let's 00:12:28:01 - 00:12:31:01 say your simple acknowledgment of Kristi. 00:12:31:01 - 00:12:34:14 Thank you. I know that this is a long haul. 00:12:34:14 - 00:12:36:14 I know you're contributing a lot of hours. 00:12:36:14 - 00:12:38:10 Thank you for doing so. 00:12:38:10 - 00:12:39:15 I feel visible. 00:12:39:15 - 00:12:43:18 But if I'm giving, giving, giving and my immediate leader isn't 00:12:43:20 - 00:12:46:17 recognizing that, then over time 00:12:47:17 - 00:12:50:18 I tend to not just myself, I'm using myself 00:12:50:18 - 00:12:55:11 in the examples, but over time people will give less. 00:12:55:11 - 00:12:57:05 They'll sort of pull back. 00:12:57:05 - 00:13:02:06 It's not necessarily disengaging, but for a lot of organizations that are 00:13:02:06 - 00:13:06:18 measuring engagement, their populations by go from highly engaged to engaged. 00:13:07:02 - 00:13:11:08 So feeling valued and visible for the contributions 00:13:11:10 - 00:13:15:17 for the outcomes is important to sustain engagement. 00:13:15:23 - 00:13:17:11 Yeah, those are great points. 00:13:17:11 - 00:13:19:04 I love the recognition piece 00:13:19:04 - 00:13:22:09 because I feel like that's very important for me to use to be like 00:13:23:19 - 00:13:26:01 that kind of just motivates you to like keep going. 00:13:26:01 - 00:13:28:02 Like, Hey, my work work's being recognized. 00:13:28:06 - 00:13:29:13 They like what I'm doing. 00:13:29:13 - 00:13:32:11 I keep going kind of, yeah. So I like that. 00:13:32:23 - 00:13:35:04 Let's say that 00:13:35:04 - 00:13:37:12 you're organization and start to notice 00:13:37:12 - 00:13:41:21 that employee engagement is starting to decline. 00:13:41:21 - 00:13:44:13 What would you say the first action step is? 00:13:45:06 - 00:13:47:16 Oh, this is not our question. 00:13:48:00 - 00:13:50:22 Yeah, this is probably not going to be a thing 00:13:50:22 - 00:13:53:11 for an answer for for people to hear. 00:13:54:03 - 00:13:57:21 But this goes back to the two ways to measure engagement. 00:13:57:23 - 00:14:02:11 Yes, you can do surveys, but you can also observe engagement. 00:14:02:21 - 00:14:08:04 And so my hope is that for organizations 00:14:08:04 - 00:14:11:21 where someone is now concerned that engagement may have dropped, 00:14:12:23 - 00:14:15:20 my preference and hope would be that they're noticing, 00:14:15:20 - 00:14:18:06 they're hearing the difference. There's standing difference. 00:14:18:06 - 00:14:21:14 And as soon as they hear or see it that individual leaders 00:14:21:14 - 00:14:26:05 are talking with their folks, this is what's often less appealing 00:14:26:18 - 00:14:31:02 because it's easy to get a survey and let there be anonymous responses. 00:14:31:14 - 00:14:34:20 But Sophie, going back to the example, if you're my leader 00:14:35:18 - 00:14:38:06 and you're working with me and you know 00:14:38:06 - 00:14:40:17 that I've been a consistent performer 00:14:41:12 - 00:14:44:03 and I have demonstrated interest 00:14:44:03 - 00:14:49:10 and concern and now you see change, the quickest, best action 00:14:49:10 - 00:14:53:15 is to have a one on one discussion to say, Hey, Kristi, 00:14:54:03 - 00:14:59:21 I notice, that lately you're you're not as talkative in meetings or 00:15:00:20 - 00:15:01:12 I notice 00:15:01:12 - 00:15:04:13 that you're not volunteering for some of the extra projects. 00:15:04:13 - 00:15:07:12 You know, you're just kind of only a late answer, 00:15:07:18 - 00:15:10:06 whatever it is, and that the 00:15:10:19 - 00:15:14:00 the discussion can open up at that point because that 00:15:14:00 - 00:15:18:06 discussion enables a leader to learn 00:15:18:06 - 00:15:21:16 what roadblock may now be underway 00:15:22:03 - 00:15:27:13 or what has changed in that employee for their engagement to shift. 00:15:27:14 - 00:15:31:08 And so that is the best thing to do in that moment. 00:15:31:08 - 00:15:37:00 Now from employee engagement surveys, I can guess what 00:15:37:09 - 00:15:40:02 changes have occurred, 00:15:40:02 - 00:15:42:07 what we see and what we have seen 00:15:42:07 - 00:15:45:15 not only during COVID but over the past decade. 00:15:45:23 - 00:15:49:12 The biggest factors that 00:15:50:21 - 00:15:52:23 influence engagement 00:15:52:23 - 00:15:57:01 is the level of communication on the day to day. 00:15:57:10 - 00:16:01:09 So if the job changes and that employee was not aware, 00:16:02:00 - 00:16:04:12 then that's really going to alter their engagement. 00:16:05:00 - 00:16:07:14 If they have expressed an interest 00:16:07:14 - 00:16:12:18 or a need to learn something new and their leader leader 00:16:12:18 - 00:16:16:05 is not arranging for that, that's going to drive engagement. 00:16:16:16 - 00:16:18:08 It's going to change engagement. 00:16:18:08 - 00:16:22:12 If they feel like they've been hired to do a certain job 00:16:22:12 - 00:16:26:10 and they're not allowed to do it either because they are being micromanaged 00:16:26:10 - 00:16:30:09 or because there's a disconnect between what they're doing 00:16:30:09 - 00:16:32:08 and what their colleague is doing 00:16:32:08 - 00:16:34:20 or what their department is doing in another department is doing. 00:16:34:20 - 00:16:36:13 They're not working well together. 00:16:36:13 - 00:16:38:04 That's going to hinder engagement. 00:16:38:04 - 00:16:43:05 So having those conversations enables a leader and an employee 00:16:43:13 - 00:16:48:10 to identify what has changed or what may be a factor, 00:16:48:11 - 00:16:52:12 and then to work together to try to improve that. 00:16:52:22 - 00:16:55:23 And even all those conversations and probably difficult 00:16:55:23 - 00:16:57:20 or might be hard to bring up. 00:16:57:20 - 00:17:02:02 It also shows that, hey, my leader cares about you and cares 00:17:02:07 - 00:17:07:11 why I'm not performing my best and stuff like you and Sophie. 00:17:07:11 - 00:17:10:03 On that point, I have to also say, 00:17:10:21 - 00:17:14:05 you know, engagement, as we have mentioned, is two ways. 00:17:14:10 - 00:17:14:21 Yeah. 00:17:14:21 - 00:17:20:08 And I have to now also acknowledge that for leaders a lot of times 00:17:21:10 - 00:17:24:01 engaged employees are 00:17:24:16 - 00:17:31:07 challenging for leaders because if if an employee is really engaged, 00:17:31:12 - 00:17:37:04 they care and they have high expectations to be in the know. 00:17:37:07 - 00:17:39:17 Yeah. Or for things to be fixed. 00:17:39:17 - 00:17:43:08 And so a lot of times to have these one on one discussions, 00:17:43:19 - 00:17:48:06 the leader is a little bit vulnerable to what the employee's expressing. 00:17:48:12 - 00:17:52:02 And depending upon that employee's personality, 00:17:52:02 - 00:17:53:10 they can be really passionate. 00:17:53:10 - 00:17:57:12 And so they have a lot of energy about what is happy about. 00:17:57:19 - 00:18:00:10 The leader could just be like, Oh, 00:18:00:12 - 00:18:02:19 that's a good point, what do I do? 00:18:03:21 - 00:18:06:22 And so in all fairness, that's I think that's 00:18:06:22 - 00:18:12:03 one of the biggest challenges for leaders when they are managing engaged employees. 00:18:12:18 - 00:18:14:17 I mean, highly engaged employees. 00:18:14:17 - 00:18:17:11 You can almost feel that momentum from them. 00:18:17:19 - 00:18:21:15 So the leader needs to be prepared to handle that and be okay. 00:18:21:15 - 00:18:22:00 Right. 00:18:22:00 - 00:18:25:09 The kind of going off of that declining 00:18:25:09 - 00:18:28:20 employee engagement, we're still hearing about quiet quitting. 00:18:29:06 - 00:18:31:13 So how does that tie into engagement? 00:18:31:13 - 00:18:34:14 And can you recommend anything to leaders out there 00:18:34:14 - 00:18:37:19 or even just employees experiencing quiet quitting? 00:18:39:07 - 00:18:42:05 I have I have some feelings about that term. 00:18:42:05 - 00:18:46:04 I struggle with quiet quitting a little bit because I know it's 00:18:46:04 - 00:18:49:22 been a term of interest in the past year or so. 00:18:50:21 - 00:18:54:00 And I think that it really depends 00:18:54:12 - 00:18:57:19 on how you define defining quiet quitting. 00:18:58:12 - 00:19:02:03 Some folks have defined quiet quitting to be 00:19:02:03 - 00:19:06:15 oh, a person is no longer going above and beyond for if that's your definition, 00:19:07:06 - 00:19:10:20 then then there's no problem in that sense. 00:19:10:20 - 00:19:14:18 Because if you think about a person no longer going above and beyond, 00:19:15:14 - 00:19:20:13 if you think about how we rate performance in organizations, we give ratings. 00:19:20:13 - 00:19:25:06 If we're still doing ratings will go to the ratings of exceeds 00:19:25:06 - 00:19:28:08 expectations meets expectations 00:19:28:12 - 00:19:32:00 is not meeting, it's below expectations. 00:19:32:00 - 00:19:36:09 So when a person goes above and beyond, then theoretically they should be rated 00:19:36:09 - 00:19:37:23 exceeds expectations. 00:19:37:23 - 00:19:40:12 If they're no longer doing that, but they're still getting their work done. 00:19:40:13 - 00:19:43:12 They're meeting expectations and quiet. Quitting is not a problem 00:19:44:15 - 00:19:45:22 if you define quiet. 00:19:45:22 - 00:19:50:14 Quitting though, as a person who is not 00:19:51:03 - 00:19:53:12 meeting expectations of the role, 00:19:54:01 - 00:19:58:19 then I would say in terms of measuring engagement, 00:19:59:00 - 00:20:01:19 that person's performance is now subpar 00:20:02:03 - 00:20:05:19 and they may be moving into the less engaged category. 00:20:06:05 - 00:20:09:12 And when you think about engagement and satisfaction, 00:20:09:12 - 00:20:13:18 it might mean that their satisfaction is still good. 00:20:13:18 - 00:20:16:20 They're still content to stay with the organization, 00:20:17:08 - 00:20:21:07 but they're not contributing as much if they're not meeting your expectations, 00:20:21:07 - 00:20:25:11 you have to address that from the objective perspective of the role. 00:20:26:00 - 00:20:31:07 But is they are not giving the extra and you want that back, 00:20:31:17 - 00:20:34:01 then it's back to what we talked about before 00:20:34:01 - 00:20:37:12 and you've got to be able to sit down and say, Kristi, I noticed 00:20:37:23 - 00:20:41:08 that you're no longer doing X, Y and Z. 00:20:41:08 - 00:20:43:22 So those conversations are critical, 00:20:44:23 - 00:20:45:12 but I 00:20:45:12 - 00:20:48:01 am just not that concerned with quiet quitting. 00:20:48:12 - 00:20:51:20 I think I think for a lot of organizations 00:20:51:20 - 00:20:54:20 and for a lot of employees 00:20:54:22 - 00:20:58:07 that there has been a shift, you know, since Covid, 00:20:58:12 - 00:21:03:00 where people really are evaluating, Yeah, how if I want to spend my time 00:21:03:10 - 00:21:06:07 and quite honestly for us as employers, 00:21:07:01 - 00:21:10:04 the flip side of that is, you know, 00:21:10:04 - 00:21:14:18 if we have not been acknowledging the contributions, 00:21:15:02 - 00:21:20:03 then the employees are that are creating that balance for themselves. 00:21:20:14 - 00:21:21:21 And that makes sense. 00:21:21:21 - 00:21:25:04 So kind of tying together all of this. 00:21:25:04 - 00:21:28:21 The title for the episode is the engagement equation 00:21:29:04 - 00:21:31:01 Finding the Right Balance. 00:21:31:01 - 00:21:34:14 So to close out for today, what is one piece of advice 00:21:34:14 - 00:21:39:23 that you would give employers on finding that right balance? 00:21:39:23 - 00:21:41:20 If you are 00:21:43:01 - 00:21:43:22 an organization that 00:21:43:22 - 00:21:46:22 really is interested in employee engagement? 00:21:47:18 - 00:21:50:18 I the one piece of advice I want to give 00:21:50:22 - 00:21:53:12 is to start at the beginning of the process. 00:21:54:05 - 00:22:01:14 The beginning of the process is for leaders to truly understand 00:22:01:14 - 00:22:08:04 the positions that report to them, not the people, but the positions. 00:22:08:04 - 00:22:09:20 What are you asking? 00:22:09:20 - 00:22:13:14 And in that position, where are the expectations? 00:22:13:17 - 00:22:16:18 What are the goals 00:22:16:18 - 00:22:19:12 and how are you measuring those things? 00:22:20:02 - 00:22:23:01 Because it's only when leaders truly 00:22:23:01 - 00:22:27:23 know what the purpose of that role is, when it's really defined for them, 00:22:28:11 - 00:22:30:14 that's when they can begin to 00:22:32:08 - 00:22:35:20 assess what meeting expectations really means, 00:22:36:03 - 00:22:40:00 what exceeding it really means, what it means to go above and beyond. 00:22:40:11 - 00:22:43:06 And they can coach effectively 00:22:43:22 - 00:22:47:06 and they can also, when they're having people enter into a role, 00:22:47:19 - 00:22:51:22 they can get those people to invest quicker. 00:22:52:05 - 00:22:56:03 So being really certain about the positions 00:22:56:03 - 00:22:59:19 that newly it is the first step for engagement. 00:22:59:23 - 00:23:00:17 Absolutely. 00:23:00:17 - 00:23:05:10 That's great advice to anyone who thinks, Do you have any last piece of advice 00:23:05:10 - 00:23:09:02 or any lasting comments to before we wrap up today. 00:23:11:06 - 00:23:14:05 So all of you, I know we've talked a lot about this for your side, but 00:23:14:05 - 00:23:18:18 Sophie, you did touch on the fact earlier that engagement is a two way street. 00:23:18:18 - 00:23:24:13 And so for the employee perspective is where most of us are employees Somewhere. 00:23:24:14 - 00:23:25:05 Yeah, 00:23:26:05 - 00:23:30:23 for, for us as individuals, engagement is important 00:23:31:05 - 00:23:35:01 because it gives us a sense of value and purpose. 00:23:35:21 - 00:23:38:08 If we're working, this is important 00:23:38:08 - 00:23:41:04 for us to say what I'm doing is really meaningful. 00:23:41:13 - 00:23:47:14 And so, you know, if you don't really feel engaged in what you're doing 00:23:47:23 - 00:23:53:13 and you're thinking about maybe making a change to something that you think 00:23:53:13 - 00:23:57:00 would be a better fit for you, 00:23:57:00 - 00:24:01:17 I would encourage you to really do that because in order for you 00:24:01:17 - 00:24:06:05 to find work valuable, engagement is this key for you. 00:24:06:05 - 00:24:08:08 It's not just being satisfied. 00:24:08:08 - 00:24:13:06 Engagement is a sense of fulfillment and it's just a healthier way to work. 00:24:13:20 - 00:24:14:15 Absolutely. 00:24:14:15 - 00:24:19:03 Well, I want to thank you for all you do at MRA, because you're amazing 00:24:19:04 - 00:24:21:22 and I want to thank you for being on 30 minutes Thrive today 00:24:21:22 - 00:24:25:14 and really sharing your knowledge and expertise on employee engagement. 00:24:26:02 - 00:24:30:00 So to our listeners, if you liked our chat and topic today, 00:24:30:12 - 00:24:33:03 make sure you share this episode and leave a comment. 00:24:33:03 - 00:24:37:22 Leave a review and consider joining MRA if you aren't a member already 00:24:37:23 - 00:24:41:23 because we have all the show notes or all the resources in the show notes below. 00:24:42:07 - 00:24:44:03 So make sure you take a look at those. 00:24:44:03 - 00:24:47:18 We've also included Kristi's bio and LinkedIn profile, 00:24:47:18 - 00:24:50:18 so if you want to connect with her, get in touch with her. 00:24:51:09 - 00:24:53:19 We have all those resources available for you. 00:24:54:07 - 00:24:58:04 Otherwise, thanks so much for tuning in and we will see you next week. 00:24:59:05 - 00:25:01:23 And that wraps up our content for this episode. 00:25:02:00 - 00:25:05:04 Be sure to reference the show notes where you can sign up to connect. 00:25:05:04 - 00:25:06:20 For more podcast updates, 00:25:06:20 - 00:25:10:14 check out other MRA episodes on your favorite podcast platform. 00:25:10:14 - 00:25:15:13 And as always, make sure to follow MRA's 30 minutes Thrive, so you don't miss out. 00:25:15:14 - 00:25:16:10 Thanks for tuning 00:25:16:10 - 00:25:20:04 in, and we'll see you next Wednesday to carry on the HR conversation.

The guest for this episode is Kyle Warner who is a HR Generalist III, and has recently joined Samsung in Dallas, TX.I met Kyle in the summer when we connected after his contract was coming to an end and he wanted support in finding a new role. As we spoke it quickly became apparent how Kyle stood out a someone who could be considered a 'fixer' or a 'change enabler'. What I mean by that is he gave me example after example of how he had gone into a role, became aware of legacy issues and problems, and although they weren't necessarily 'his' problems to fix, he  appreciated that the whole HR function would operate more effectively and provide a better service is these problems were corrected.  Therefore, that's what he did.... he took matters into his own hands and resolved them. Kyle would describe his own superpower as being someone who can create order from chaos and this is a perfect case study in how you can be someone who turns up 9-5 and just wants a job, or you can be someone who creates a strong personal brand and is recognised for constantly going above beyond and exceeding expectations. The benefit of the latter is that your stakeholders appreciate you more and the results you deliver.Kyle attitude and approach to work is a benchmark for anyone at the early stages of their HR career and wants to know how to get their career moving forward. I hope you enjoy listening.Support the show

You know what it is that makes you happy, and happiness is something everyone can attest to. You find peace in the present moment and realize how powerful it is to live a life of purpose. Join the conversation with Christina Wenman as she shares her journey through authoring and publishing her first book. Listen to the lessons she learned from these pivotal moments in life. Besides being an author, Christina is a Happy Healthy Human Coach and HR Generalist at the Church Mutual Insurance Company. Throughout her education, she has maintained a high level of involvement with academics, work, and leadership opportunities. Christina had a lot of questions about what success means in today's world. So she decided to write a book about it. It took over a year. She interviewed nine people she believes are successful in business, education, and entrepreneurial efforts. She winnowed and focused and questioned her thoughts about success. She did all this in secret, except for her immediate family and a few other people, so she could fully concentrate on the project. The result is a self-published, 125-page paperback book titled "Success Through Your Eyes: Learning from Your World to Find Your Way." Notable Quotes “True success means having the right balance in life.” “Authenticity is more powerful than anything else someone would give you.” “Always choose life over money. You can always replace money through different avenues, but regret in life is irredeemable.” “Authenticity is more valuable than any monetary value someone can give you.” “Sometimes sharing your goals with other people is not wise. It may create a sense of accomplishment in you, leaving you less enthusiasm to keep going.” “It's so crazy that sometimes, the least favorite parts about ourselves are the best parts to other people.” Tune in and learn more in this conversation!

Nadia Belkind is passionate about supporting work environments that thrive on interpersonal communication. She sees it as her mission to help generate trust, mutual understanding, connection, and positivity. After her relocation to Stanford in 2018, Nadia started teaching her class called "The Secrets of Interpersonal Communication" at Stanford Bechtel International Center, helping dozens of international spouses communicate confidently and effectively. In 2019 She co-led a MasterMind Job Search group, and in 2020 she worked as a Teaching Assistant at Stanford BioSci Career Center, supporting a group of Ph.D. students. Today she is an Operations and HR Generalist at the Silicon Valley startup ScyllaDB. Nadia holds a Master's degree in Sociology of Education from Tel Aviv University. Nadia and I talk about the importance of relationships and interpersonal communication. Nadia is a fantastic storyteller, and I appreciate the examples she shared from her life journey growing up in Israel and then moving to the USA. In both instances, she relied on her interpersonal communication to create new relationships. As Nadia would say, "Communication is not that much about what we say, but it is about how we say it. It is how we make people feel about themselves - that is what they will remember." I love Nadia's larger societal view and, at the same time, her skill of being able to see the individual pieces of the puzzle and how they fit together. What stood out to me about Nadia the most is her positivity, curiosity, energy, and ability to think things through from all perspectives. Favorite quotes from this episode: "Kindness has no language. If you are kind to another person, they will feel it no matter what.""Great things happen when we genuinely enjoy doing something for others.""I realized how important is non-verbal communication in this context - when you are a foreigner - when English is not your first language - when you are trying to make new connections with people. It is all about communication but not the verbal communication that we think is so important. It's not about the words that I say as much as how do I make the other person feel.""When we have too much choice, it is very hard for us to focus."

Recruitment and hiring are never easy, but recently, there seems to be new challenges. Health is a bigger concern than ever and adjusting to meeting new demands and guidelines is difficult at best. So we asked our very own HR Generalist for her advice. Jamie Rofkar is the HR Generalist for Janitorial Manager and SHRM certified. She leads the way in helping establish HR practices, such as recruitment and hiring. Jamie is a go-getter with the ability to connect easily to the people she meets and has greatly enjoyed the usual face-to-face aspect of the hiring process. With current shifts due to COVID-19 and the rapidly advancing technological world, Jamie has had to adapt those processes, which includes a remote interviewing process. She has taken the approach of being compassionate and understanding, realizing that not everyone has the same accommodations, especially now, and focuses instead on the factors that could make that interviewee a good addition to the team.
